Salzburg Advent Singing

Salzburg Advent Singing

This is a non-competitive choral festival in the charming city of Salzburg, open to all choirs. The city of Mozart becomes a big stage with more than 4000 cultural and musical events a year. Salzburg is rich in art, history and tradition. The place itself invites to song and dance. This is a city with a rich and glorious past and a vibrant present which makes it a place worth visiting often…because … once is not enough!
